Mother’s Day- Little Gem & Herb Fries

May
8
One of my favorite lunches with my mom and sisters is a simple salad and French fries. Ordering a salad as a main takes the guilt out of devouring a platter of fries, lol. These herb fries turn out perfect every time. The two step cooking process ensures the inside is cooked to perfection while getting that perfect crunch on the outside. I'm topping them with lemon parsley salt and serving them with a super fresh little gem … keep reading darling...

Greek Chicken Pita

Apr

This Greek Chicken Pita is so incredible, I ate it 3 days in a row while testing the recipe! Trust me on this one- you will love it! The tzatziki is so creamy and filled with fresh herbs- it's the perfect balance to the bright Greek salad and lemony grilled chicken. I pile everything on a piece of grilled naan bread to serve but it can easily be adapted. You could serve it over a bed of greens if you are watching carbs and yo… keep reading darling...

Blackened Salmon

Apr

Blackened Salmon is one of my favorite go-to weeknight dinner recipes. It's clean and light and the blackening seasoning gives it a ton of flavor. I love this recipe because you just pop it in the oven and it turns out perfect every time. The trick to getting this cooked to perfection is to cook it at a super high temperature- 500 degrees. The high temperature gives is a perfect crust but keeps the salmon moist. I use a parch… keep reading darling...

Roasted Cherry Tomato & Pesto Bake

Mar
24
This is a perfect quick dinner idea using mostly pantry staples. The pesto can be made ahead and frozen, and the roasted cherry tomatoes are absolutely delicious. I also love this recipe because you can prep it early and finish baking it off when you are ready for dinner. You can also easily make this vegan. I would just swap the Parmesan cheese on top for some Panko breadcrumbs and you can just completely omit the Parmesan… keep reading darling...
